Its the one of two Paper Marios to have the simple yet straightforward actual RPG fights with no gimmicks and crap. Speaking as a TTYD fan and played said game as my first foray into this series, I think this game is great in its own way. The tone and aesthetics seems to be taken from [Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island] a lot, notwithstanding chapter 5. Everything feels goofy from start to finish, helped by the fact that Bowser's portrayal is balanced between threatening and hilarious. The gameplay is still good despite its limitations and how crap inputs are. I went for 100% as this game is really great despite how aged it is. Doubly so from how un-ergonomic the N64 controller is.
